Owen back on the goal trail

Michael Owen got back on the Real Madrid goal trail after his disappointing midweek display for England against Azerbaijan.

The former Liverpool striker netted his 10th goal in La Liga this season, getting on the end of a pass from Guti before slotting in Real's winner in a 2-1 victory away to Albacete.

The home side took the lead but Real equalised through defender Ivan Helguera, who headed home following a corner.

Owen's inclusion came after Raul was injured in the warm-up, and it now remains to be seen which of the two will get the nod from Madrid coach Wanderley Luxemburgo for the crunch clash with Barcelona next weekend.

Owen's England team-mate David Beckham was not in the Real squad due to injury.
